Life Coaches Unfiltered
Life Coaches Unfiltered is a bi-weekly podcast for the midlife woman who feels stressed, burned out, and stuck.
Hosted by three life coaches with very different specialties: Desiree, Michelle, and Doree. Each episode blends coaching tools, real stories, and unfiltered conversation so you feel seen, not judged.
If you’re a woman in midlife dealing with chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, “numbing out,” anxiety spirals, toxic positivity, gaslighting, or narcissism in relationships, this show helps you understand what’s really going on and what to do next: one small, doable step at a time.
You’ll hear episodes on:
- Burnout, boundaries, people-pleasing, and over-apologizing (“The Apology Epidemic”).
- Anxiety spirals, hypervigilance, and finding calm in chaos.
- Numbing out with food, scrolling, and busyness. And healthier ways to cope.
- Narcissism, gaslighting, and reclaiming your reality in confusing relationships.
- Growth mindset vs. staying in survival mode, midlife career shifts, and redefining success.
Whether you’re juggling work, caregiving, and everyone else’s needs or quietly wondering “Is this really it?,” Life Coaches Unfiltered gives you practical coaching strategies, uncomfortable-but-important questions, and compassionate truth-telling to help you move from overwhelmed and burned out to clearer, calmer, and more in charge of your own lif

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of New Year’s Resolutions

New year, new goals… same burnout? In this episode of Life Coaches Unfiltered, the coaches get real about goal setting, New Year’s resolutions, and why big, lofty goals often backfire - especially for women already exhausted and in survival mode.
New Year’s goal-setting sounds great on paper. Next thing you know, you’re two weeks in, already “behind,” and ready to say “forget it” to every resolution you made. In this honest conversation, Desiree, Michelle, and Doree unpack the good, the bad, and the ugly of goal setting, from vision boards and flip charts to bonfire resolutions that go up in smoke (literally).
Michelle shares why she loves goals as bite-sized direction (not giant life contracts), how realistic goals create clarity and momentum, and why most people overwhelm themselves with huge, vague resolutions.
Doree talks about her mixed feelings as a hypnotherapist during “resolution season,” including her story of throwing a pack of cigarettes into a New Year’s bonfire… then trying to bum a smoke an hour later.
Desiree names the pressure and shame that come with goals when you’re in midlife, grieving, caregiving, or just plain tired, and asks the question no one likes to admit: How do you set a goal for a life you haven’t even imagined yet?
You’ll hear the difference between resolutions and actual plans, why “all-or-nothing” goals are so damaging, and how to create goals that fit the season you’re in instead of punishing you for not being farther along. The coaches also explore process goals vs. outcome goals, and how tiny, consistent actions beat grand declarations every time.
